Pollution Control Plan for UAE on Cards

“Under the plan, modern equipment and systems for controlling oil pollution and monitoring beaches, seaports and regional waters will be made available,’’ he said.

The minister made these remarks during a visit to the Fujairah Municipality where he was received by its director Mohammed Saif Al Afkham.

Al Afkham said the visit was part of efforts to regulate the quarrying sector in the emirate.

“The civic body is strictly enforcing the environmental laws to protect the health of the people living near quarries,’’ he added.
